Mbale stands 1,125 m up — 4th lowest of 10 of the 10 Uganda cities we cover, on plateau ground. Thinner air means less oxygen per stroke, so 1,125 m costs 8.3% of rated output.
Practically: 100 kVA on the plate is about 92 kVA in Mbale. Size from the plate and the set runs at its limit from day one, glazing bores and wet-stacking. At 1,125 m a turbocharged engine recovers most of that 8.3% and is usually worth the difference.
Mbale is roughly 405 km north-west of our base at Embakasi, Nairobi, in a straight line and across a border. 405 km is comfortable overland reach: parts move by road and an engineer reaches Mbale without an unreasonable mobilisation charge. Spares held in Nairobi genuinely serve this site.
Elevation: Open-Meteo Geocoding API (GeoNames elevation), retrieved 2026-08-26. Temperature: Open-Meteo Archive (ERA5 reanalysis), 2025 daily maxima and minima. Derate figures are planning estimates using standard corrections (approximately 1% per 100 m above 300 m; 2% per 5 °C above 25 °C); final sizing follows the engine manufacturer’s own derate tables for the set proposed.
We supply and install heavy-duty generators for factories, hospitals, and data centers in Mbale.
